Not to be just one more "me too", but Peggy Noonan's The Blogs Must Be Crazy says it so well:
Blogging changes how business is done in American journalism. The MSM isn't over. It just can no longer pose as if it is The Guardian of Established Truth. The MSM is just another player now. A big one, but a player.

Harry Frankfurt's "On Bullshit"
So starts a really great piece on the modern tendency to "spin" everything. I really like the conclusion that Eugene Oregon draws in his blog entry of the same title
So true.
One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share.

I think that accurately sums the Bush administration and much of the Republican party - the truth or falsity of their views are completely subservient to their desire to promote their agenda and "get away" with all the bullshit that they spew.
So true.

Wired 13.02: The Microsoft Memo: "Bill Gates hires open source icon Linus Torvalds? That was just the beginning of Redmond's hybrid strategy to face the free software age."
Give that a read. :) Quite fun.

Paul Graham has written another excellent article titled What You'll Wish You'd Known, things he wishes somebody had told him in high school. From the /. entry:
..."suggesting, among other things, that students treat school like a day job, working on interesting projects to avoid what he has found to be the most common regret among adults of their high school days: wasting time."Like all of Graham's writing, highly recommended!
